Eric Krewson, I think I did have the brace a tad high there. I did readjust it later. This is just a temporary string. It is a tillering string that busted on the one loop side that it came with, and I ended up having to work on the bow with a bowyer's knot on each side.

Bjrogg, thank you sir, and happy hunting to you.

Ain't it cool to "hear" a feller so excited about his first good one?!!
Congrats, Carl!
